Hi Eric,

I'm the lead developer on a NISE Net exhibit package about NanoMedicine.
I'd be happy to contribute on the "too small to see" experience.

Let me know how I can help~

Hello, all:

For an upcoming issue of the Exhibitionist, the magazine of the National
Association for Museum Exhibition, on "Exhibiting the un- Exhibitable"
I am writing an article on science museums making exhibits on things
that are too big, too small, too fast, or too slow to be directly
experienced.

So, I am seeking examples of this from science museums, and I am also
seeking a few people who have developed exhibits that fall into these
categories that might be willing to be "interviewed" via email,
discussing the challenges of these kinds of exhibitions, and how they
addressed them.

If you have ideas of exhibits that fall into these categories, please
share them on the list (I will also be combing exhibitfiles)  If you are
willing to participate in a short written interview, please contact me
offlist at the email address below.

BTW, as a short pitch, if you haven't seen the Exhibitionist ever, or
recently, it is very worth a look.  We have hired Gretchen Jennings as
the editor, and she is bringing it to another level building on the
great work of her volunteer predecessors.

Thanks in advance.

Eric
